The Obama campaign or the DNC need to put this in an ad.

One more foolish comment that should, but won't, be made into a commercial.

BTW.  Obama is making a couple stops (including an overnight stay in Billings) in Montana, the Dakotas, and (I've heard from friends, but nothing solid) possibly Wyoming Monday/Tuesday on the way to the convention.  

We also have the Montana Democratic party chair having some sort of press conference later for a "major announcement on the presidential campaign here in Montana".  Four previous stops by Obama, the man never announced a thing, much less held a press conference to announce it a week early...  

Western governor as VP?  Schweitzer maybe?  Or just wishful thinking from a Montanan?  Maybe we're just the states between Illinois and Colorado.  :D

But I am still struggling to own a house. Sachin

is an inability to quantify everything that one owns.

of course, another explanation could just be senility.  do we know how old reagan was when alzheimers set in?  mccain likes to compare himself to reagan, maybe the analogy is stronger than he wants us to realize...

McCain continues to get a pass.  The MSM refuses to do it's job.  Yesterday McCain said when responding to a question that "it's ok with me" (regarding a possible draft).  Yet NO REPORTING ON THIS.  Other than Contdown.  

Odds of the traditional media covering this MAJOR gaffe?

This is awesome.  Encapsulates Obama's best attacks - rich, out-of-touch, senile.   Obama should talk about nothing else today - postpone the VP announcement if necessary.

If you think about it, the $5M middle class answer is probably because that's how much the McCains make in a so-so year.  They're estimated to be worth about $100M, so a 5% return is an average year.  McCain probably made 10M/yr in the late 90s, and more like $2-3M this past year, so when he was asked, he probably estimated based on what his income looked like in an ok year.

I'm sure many rich politicians whom we do support also do not know how many homes they own.  Face it- most of 'em are muliti-millionaires.  They have money managers.  This is just the way that it is.  Is it good that you have to be a millionaire to be a politician in America?  No.  It is reality though- on both sides of the isle.
The only reason the Obama's aren't quite there yet (although they ARE rich compared to most)- are that they are new on the political scene.  Give em time- they will soon be richer than rich (just like the Clintons now are).
I think we probably won't win on this argument- just seems trite.

If McInsane doesn't know how many houses he owns why would or should his staff? Shouldn't he have referred the reporters to the person who wears the pants in the family, Cindy? This should be referred to as the McInsane's Housing Crisis! My lord He has so many Houses and so few fingers and toes to count them with!

This, IMHO, disqualifies a man from the presidency of a nation where the median income is $40k.

Powerful ad.  Hits McCain on his "seven houses."  I smell an "out of touch" theme coming up :)

I love the ad,

But it would have been more powerful to actually HEAR him say he doesn't remember.

It would be even worse if you didn't remember that a convicted political briber bought half of your yard and driveway for you.
